Plan Description
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka requires endurance, strength, and strategic pacing to handle its swim, bike, and run challenges. This 44-week training plan is specifically crafted for athletes aged 60 and over to build the physical and mental capacity needed for this demanding race.
The swim at Peninsula Lake is calm and clear, making efficient technique and aerobic conditioning essential. Early training focuses on building a strong aerobic base and swim technique through gradual progression and skill drills, helping you maintain steady pace and conserve energy in race conditions.
The bike course is long and hilly, with over 1,200 meters of elevation gain across 90 km. The plan emphasizes sustainable endurance and strength development through low-intensity rides and targeted intervals that improve climbing ability and power output. This approach enhances your capacity to manage rolling hills and maintain consistent effort throughout.
The run combines paved roads and trails with rolling terrain. Training includes race-specific brick workouts—bike-to-run sessions—that prepare your legs for the transition and increase muscular endurance. Additionally, hill repeats and pacing drills help manage fatigue and maintain form on the course’s punchy hills.
This program also addresses age-specific needs:
✅ Builds cardiovascular fitness gradually to reduce injury risk
✅ Includes resistance training to maintain muscle and bone health
✅ Integrates recovery and strength work for joint support and mobility
✅ Uses periodized cycles for optimal adaptation and sustainable progress
✅ Provides neuromuscular drills to improve coordination and race-day transitions
✅ Compatible with Garmin and other devices to track heart rate, power, and effort
Following this plan equips you to confidently handle Muskoka’s swim, bike, and run demands while safeguarding your long-term health. With structured progression and coach email support, you’ll have guidance to stay on track, adjust as needed, and optimize your race readiness.
